I've actually got Disgaea 2 sitting in my Steam library waiting for attention, but the time-sensitive nature of this one is going to prompt me to play it first. I very much have my doubts that I'll get through it all in a week, given how Disgaea 1 went (How Long to Beat is saying ~55 hours for the main story, 300+ for completionist, which sounds about right), but we'll see how it goes.

If nothing else, I really like the idea of having rentals like this paired with discounts, so I'm all for telling Nintendo that by taking advantage of it.

I have Disgea 2 for the PS2 but haven't played it in years. I think you can also get Adell and co. as playable units in D5 but I'd need to check. My takeaways from that one were that the characters were less interesting but the gameplay is much improved over D1. Even tweaking it so that guns could only fire in a straight line was a huge improvement, as it made bows viable again for example.

I think the main thing with these games is that they don't take very long to beat for the main story but all the extra stuff requires you to be leveled up to some obscene amount. Priere (sp?) from the first game was level 2000 IIRC. At this point in D5 I'm more than capable of blowing through the main missions but there's just a certain something that keeps me saying "Oh, I can just level up this guy's shield a little bit more first" and I haven't been doing it.
